It is currently the 23rd of December meaning it is our last working day of the year. It's a Friday and from Monday our winter holidays are starting and I am over the moon about it. Christmas might just be my favorite time of the year. I can't wait to go back home to Charlotte and spend a couple of days with my dad and my brother. My brother recently got a girlfriend, from what I've heard she's the nicest person ever so I'm so excited to finally meet her! As much as I love living in New York at times I get frustrated and sad because I don't get to see my family as much as I would want to so I always end up feeling left out because I'm not always there for the small and sometimes big things happening in their lives.

I knock on Nayel's door and step inside once I hear a come in. Nayel had recently gotten a haircut, his hair was short and trimmed from the sides and slightly longer in the front but none of it was covering his forehead anymore. It suited him, he looked really hands

    I run my fingers through the curls, setting them to make them look loose and flowy. It took me over an hour to curl my hair. I was wearing a golden A-Line Halter neck, floor-length maxi dress with ruffle beading. I decided to keep my makeup to a minimum meaning just lipstick, concealer, mascara, and blush as I wasn't feeling like doing a whole eye look, I did put on a little eyeliner thought. I put on a pair of golden earrings and flats because I can't with heels in this dress. I fix my lipstick in the mirror as I hear the bell ringing meaning people are arriving for my New Year's Eve Party.I open the door and the first people to arrive are none other than my best friend Heidi and her husband Kevin."You look gorgeous as always" Heidi smiles embracing me in a hug."Says you!" I admire her emerald green knee-length silk dress, which went so well with her short blonde hair."What about me?" Kevin furrows his eyebrows. Heidi and I roll our eyes as I g

    "You look great Maria, it's the perfect combination of elegant and hot!" Willow tries to cheer me up as she was looking me up and down in the mirror standing behind me."Willow hot is not really the look I go for when I'm dressing up for work" I whine looking at myself."It's nothing too scandalous, I promise you. It's just slightly out of Maria's comfort zone but you still look professional" Willow smiles at me squeezing my arm, "I can already picture your boss dropping his jaw when he sees you in this" Willow smirks.I shake my head, my cheeks heating up, "Stop it" I mumble trying to hide my smile.Today is the first day back to work after the holidays and last night was Willow's birthday so I spent the night at her place. Now the problem being, we woke up late and I need to leave for work in less than 10 minutes so I had to borrow something of Willow's to wear. However, she is like 5'0 so most of her clothes do not fit me. There was this one dress in t

    I rest my hands on my lap as I stare outside the window. Currently, Nayel, Winston, Eddie (our finance manager) and I were on our way to having a meeting with some potential clients. It's actually another law firm that is going under business so they wanted to possibly merge with Jefferson Legal but that wouldn't be beneficial for us but we could buy them out and have them under us. Clark & Co is a Californian-based law firm that opened up a branch in New York a year ago moreover it's not doing so well. Of course with a few budget cuts, it could be potentially saved so we were just going over to meet with the CEO and see if it would be an advantage to us at the end of the day or not.Nayel was driving the car, Eddie was in front. Winston and I were in the back."I went to that Greek restaurant in SoHo that you recommended last night," Winston says and I turn to look at him."Did you like it?" I smile at him.Winston nods, "Yeah the food was marvelous.

    It's been a week since we went to Clark & Co and since I ran into Barry. Ever since Nayel has gotten back to his usual grumpy asshole self. I don't know what happened but the nice, friendly, patient at times somewhat flirty guy is gone and I just miss him. It just sucks because I had gotten used to the liking of coming to work and having cordial conversations with the person I see the most at work. He is my boss who's done a full 180 again and is back to his usual shitty self. I just wonder if it was something I did that made him change like this, I can't help thinking I'm always in the wrong. He probably got sick and tired of being nice for a couple of weeks so he had to reboot to his same ass wipe of a person.I'm so glad today is Friday, I can't wait to not have to deal with his tantrums for 2 days. We had a meeting with some clients today to discuss a case that will start next week so I had offered to do a coffee run for the clients as well as for our staff. Dunkin wa

    At last, I was finished with all the paperwork and was faxing it to the Clarks. I looked up to see the time on the wall clock and it was 7:48 pm. I hate Nayel so much right now. I cannot put into words how pissed off I am at this very moment. I had never stayed at work this late, the entire building was practically empty, all the lights on our floor were turned off and the only people in the office were me and Nayel himself. I honestly have no idea what he was doing or why he was staying this late but I don't even care. He's the worse person ever I can't believe there was a time in my life where I was actually considering having feelings for this guy, what was fucking wrong with me? He's just an asshole who deserves to die alone.I finish filling the paperwork and was going to walk into Nayel's office to tell him I'm off but that very second he walks out wearing his coat and carrying his briefcase."Was just coming to tell you I've faxed the paperwork to the Clark's ev

    I take a seat and nervously play with the hem of my skirt. Nayel wasn't in yet and I was so apprehensive about seeing him. I have been thinking about the kiss and the things he said to me all weekend but part of me doesn't know if I can trust him. If he's going to be back to his usual dick self today pretending like Friday didn't happen or if he actually meant the things he said to me.Soon enough, I see Nayel step out of the elevator. My jaw almost dropped to the floor when I saw him walking towards his office whistling some song. When does Nayel Jafari smile and whistle songs? Who is this man? Our eyes meet and he flashes me an ear-to-ear smile making my heart do cartwheels."Good morning Maria" Nayel chirps stopping by my desk. No one was around us yet still I decided to play it professionally."Morning Mr. Nayel" I smile at him softly."Can you come to see me in my office please?" Nayel grins. I nod and he walks inside the office.I gulp as I g

    I check myself out in the mirror, I really had put in an effort today. I'm wearing Short Puff Sleeve, a square neck, Floral Printed Ruched Sundress that has a High Thigh Split, and a drawstring at the front. The dress is white and has pretty blue flowers on it. It fell to my feet. I paired it with my favorite white wedges and some pearl earrings with a pearl necklace.I straightened my hair then curled it to make myself look more classy and even went a little all out with my makeup, doing a small winged liner, some shimmery eye shadow, highlighter, and to top it all of with a red matte lipstick. I bite my lower lip fixing my dress when I hear my phone start buzzing."Hello?" I answer immediately."I am downstairs" Nayel's voice rings in my ear."Alrighty," I say hanging up.Today, Nayel and I are going to Long Island once again to attend the Stanley's 30th wedding anniversary party. They specifically called in and asked for Nayel and me to attend a

    I fix the hem of my dress as Nayel knocks on the door, I could hear the party music going on in the backyard."This is sort of like our first official date," Nayel says, staring into my eyes. I smile at him, he was about to say something but the door sprung open by a dolled-up Julie."Well if it isn't my favorite couple" Julie grins at us, she was wearing a red flowy cocktail dress, her hair was in big curls and her eyes were shining in the sun.Nayel and I chuckle, "Happy Anniversary, thank you for having us" I smile giving her a hug then handing her the flowers we got."These are lovely, thank you sweetheart" Julie smiles as she moves to Nayel giving him a quick hug."Please come on in" Julie opens the door wider letting Nayel and I walk right through.....Nayel and I had split up, I was socializing with mostly the women while he saw several familiar faces he knew and Eric of course so they were talking about work stuff as well so

    I slip out of my dress and tie my hair up in a pony. Is it just me or is it extra hot today? I was about to slip out of my underwear when I heard a knock on the front door. I wonder who that could be? It's 8 pm, I don't remember ordering anything? I pick up my robe from the bed and put it on.I open the door to see Nayel standing there, the first two buttons of his shirt were undone, his hair was messy. I could tell he had run his hands through it one too many times and his jacket was rolled up in his hands. He looked exhausted. Our eyes meet and his face lights up."Hi" I smile at him."God am I happy to see you" Nayel smiles moving inside, grabbing my waist, and pulling me into a hug.I rub his back gently, "Long day?" I whisper in his ear.Nayel pulls away from the hug, still holding onto my waist, "I'm sorry for dropping in unannounced, I had a shite day and really wanted to see you" He lets out a sigh."Of course" I smile at him pressin

    "These came from the Henderson account, I'm not sure if I should fax these to accounting?" I hand Nayel the documents I just received.Nayel furrows his eyebrows as his eyes scan the pages then he starts nodding, "Yeah there's a mistake on here, let me reach out to the Henderson's then I'll get back to you on this one""Alrighty," I nod."Do you want to have dinner at my place tonight? I can cook for you?" Nayel wiggles his eyebrows making me smile."Aw I would love too but my brother Jared is in town till tomorrow so I'm just planning to show him around, go somewhere nice for dinner""Oh that's nice" Nayel gets up from his seat and approaches me, he rests his hands on my hips, "I'd love to meet him if that's okay with you" Nayel smiles.My face lights up, "You'd want to meet him?""Of course" Nayel smiles making my heart melt, "Plus you've met my sister so I think this would make us even""Okay, we can have dinner at my place,

    "Maria" I turn around to see Nayel poking his head out of his office, "I need to have a word with you," He says with a scowl, his tone professional."Yes, Mr. Nayel," I say getting up from my seat and following him inside his office.Almost immediately I'm pinned to Nayel's office door which he locks, trapping my body beneath his, "Calm down will you?" I giggle as Nayel thrusts his hips against mine."No, I will not" Nayel growls grabbing me by my neck pulling me into a kiss. I smile as I wrap my arms around his neck deepening the kiss."You are driving me crazy" Nayel grunts biting my lower lip making me gasp."Me? What did I do?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows.Nayel shakes his head, "You just drive me wild all the time" Nayel's eyes roam up and down my face.I tilt my head, "You're welcome?" I say rather confused.Nayel squeezes my hip, "How did I go 2 years without kissing you"I roll my eyes pushing Nayel off me, "Yo

    I was laying on my stomach, the sheets lazily draped over my naked body as I was tracing Nayel's abs with my finger. I smile to myself feeling his body against my fingers."Enjoying yourself?" I look up to meet Nayel's eyes, he was smirking at me."Very much so" I bite my lower lip, sitting up on my knees onto the bed pulling the covers over my body as I then straddle his lap."My boyfriend is a sex god," I say wrapping my arms around his neck."I love when you call me that" Nayel groans squeezing my hips."Good" I smile playing with the hair on the back of his neck.I decided to switch positions again so I lean against Nayel's chest, laying on top of him, my head resting on his shoulder as he held me by my waist squeezing me gently."Tell me about your family," Nayel says suddenly.I tilt my head to look up at him, he was already staring at me, "My family?" I ask."Yeah what was your childhood like?" Nayel asks playing

    I cross my ankles as I wait for the elevator to arrive, I fix the hem of my dress as the elevator door opens and my eyes lock with the man in the very back, Nayel. Our eyes meet and a mischievous smirk appears on his lips, memories of this weekend flood through my mind and my cheeks start heating up. The elevator was filled with 4 other people, I was hoping no one would notice the color arising on my face.I step in smiling at my fellow colleagues muttering quick hello's and how are you's before making my way to the back to stand next to Nayel."Good Morning Mr. Nayel," I say in a professional tone but my eyes were looking him up and down.Nayel was smirking, licking his lips, "Good morning Maria" He keeps his tone flat so no one notices something is up with us."Your coffee sir," I say handing him the coffee our fingers brushing sending chills down my spine."Why thank you" Nayel smirks, his eyes go wavy with lust a look I know all too well.

    I blink adjusting to the light coming out of the windows. I smile to myself as memories from last night flash my mind. I bite my lower lip rolling to the other side, "Ouch" I mutter, it was hard to move. I was so worn out.My eyes roam the room looking for Nayel but he wasn't in the bed next to me nor were any of his things visible. Did he leave? I felt my heart drop. He just wanted to sleep with me and now he's gone. He had his fun, used me, and then discarded me. I gulp as a wave of sadness is about to erupt inside of me when Nayel walks into the room with two mugs in his hands and bag. He smiles as our eyes meet, he was only wearing boxers looking fine as hell."Hi" I smile sitting up on the bed as Nayel sits in front of me."Good morning beautiful" Nayel moves a strand of my hair from my face."I made coffee," He says handing me the cup."Oh, how the tables turn" I joke causing him to chuckle."And I post mated donuts because I couldn't

    Nayel parks the car, leaning over and placing a soft kiss on my cheek, "Have a nice weekend" He smiles making butterflies erupt in my stomach.I bite my lower lip, "Do you want to come upstairs?" I found myself asking.Nayel's eyes widen as he nods eagerly, "Yeah" He pauses smiling, "Yeah yeah yeah" He nods eagerly making me giggle, he's so cute."You can park somewhere over there" I point to the parking lot as Nayel tries finding us a spot.Nayel unlocks the car, we grab our things and head upstairs."I think the only other time I've been to your place was the New Year's Party" Nayel says behind me as I was unlocking my door."I really wanted to kiss you that night" Nayel whispers in my ear as I open the door and turn around to smile at him. I lean up and place a soft kiss on his lips."Here you go" I wink pulling away causing him to grin as we step inside my apartment."I'm not a millionaire so excuse the basic ass apartment,

    I look around to see if anyone was paying attention to me and knocked on Nayel's office door once walking in without waiting for a reply."Hi, do you want to" I stop myself when I notice a woman sitting beside him, oh shit did I just interrupt a meeting? Wait I'm his assistant and no one had an appointment for right now.Nayel and the girl were laughing, they looked up from their conversation to see me. The woman looked around Nayel's age, maybe slightly older? She had beautiful black hair, tan skin, and grey eyes."I'm so sorry to interrupt you Mr. Nayel," I say clinking my teeth together, "I'll come back later" I look at Nayel apologetically."Is this her? Is this the Maria?" The woman turns her head to Nayel, smiling brightly.Nayel rolls his eyes playfully, a smile appearing on his lips, "Yeah" He says lowly.I furrow my eyebrows in confusion, who is this woman who knows about me?"Oh my goodness" She exclaims getting out of the s

    "Stop it" I roll my eyes playfully pushing Nayel's hand off my knee for the 5th time in the last 10 minutes."Why?" Nayel stares at me with seriousness. He looks almost offended."Need I remind you our colleagues are sitting right behind us," I say making sure I keep my tone low.Nayel rolls his eyes, "And as I've told you before, I couldn't give a lesser fuck about what they think""Ever wonder what it would be like for me if they found out?" I say getting slightly annoyed and Nayel tilts his head, "Firstly, they will never believe this thing between us happened 2 years after I started working for you. Not to mention, anytime I get a promotion or you side with my idea it's going to be because I'm sleeping with the boss. I'm going to have to deal with judgemental stares every day because I'll just be that girl in the office who sleeps to get what she wants"Nayel's features soften as he squeezes my hand, "I'm sorry, I never thought of it from your
